Fri, 03 May 2013 05:30:29 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1657836#comment-172184I agree with the punishment but not the decision grounds. Ference was bracing for a hit and Grabovski’s head was low. There was clearly no intent on Ference’s part to hit him in the head. THIS WAS ENTIRELY A DEFENSIVE MANUEVER AND IT WAS NOT RECKLESS. That said, Ference needs to keep his arm down, was negligent and is culpable for it coming in contact with the opposing player above the chin. One game suspension is appropriate result.

Fri, 03 May 2013 02:12:56 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1657836#comment-172067Just why is a playoff game worth more in suspension time than any other time. Do the crime then do the time. Should have been 2 games because it was an intentional elbow.

Fri, 03 May 2013 00:59:28 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1657836#comment-171997I wonder what will become of Gryba/Eller. Gryba didn’t appear to hit Eller in the head at all (after I watched slow replay about 15 times), but Eller definitely smashed his face into the ice when he landed. Probably broke his nose and concussed himself.

Fri, 03 May 2013 00:57:40 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1657836#comment-171996Didn’t warrant a suspension in my biased mind but excited for Saturday to see Dougie Hamilton score a goal assisted by Seguin while Kessel sulks on the bench. Thank you.

Thu, 02 May 2013 23:44:33 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1657836#comment-171976I’m ok with this. I like Ference, but that was a nasty elbow. One game is about right, considering it’s the playoffs. I guess they’ll just have to put Hamilton back in the lineup now and go from there.

Thu, 02 May 2013 23:37:41 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1657836#comment-171971So, I was 1 for 2 today. Reasoner no suspension, Ference one game.

Thu, 02 May 2013 23:36:56 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1657836#comment-171969I’m not commenting one way or the other re: the length of the suspension to Ference per se – this isn’t a “I hate Boston” or “I love Boston” bias post, but if the league were serious about suspensions and handing out suspensions to punish and deter behaviour, it wouldn’t, or maybe shouldn’t, matter if it’s a playoff game or not. Sure, it means more to the team in the playoffs if the player is suspended but – guess what? – that’s what you get for doing something that calls for a suspension at the most important time of the year (and most likely involves endangering and/or injuring another player).

How people could expect 4 games is beyond me

Thu, 02 May 2013 23:10:18 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1657836#comment-171960I would have said 2 playoff games and either way it doesn’t look like it would make a difference in the series….

Thu, 02 May 2013 23:00:13 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1657836#comment-171955I agree. Maybe when someone finally kills Crosby the league will take suspensions seriously enough that they’ll actually be effective. What a joke….

Thu, 02 May 2013 22:59:31 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1657836#comment-171954One playoff game is worth a few regular season games, suspension-wise. This hit was worth 2-3 regular season games, so one playoff game seems about right.
